The engineering team met to discuss ideas but did not make physical progress. They shared concepts but are waiting for designs from the interior design team, who did not attend. When the interior design team presented their restaurant design, professors said the engineering team's product concept of tables that promote alone time did not fit the goal of bringing people together. The engineering team needs to reconsider their concept to better match the interior design. Their strengths are collaboration and research, while not knowing the final design leaves little time for engineering work. Next week they will seek a confirmed product idea and research relevant technologies.

Weekly Progress
For this week, acutually I think we didn’t do the physical things in the part of
Enginering just only think and share each ideas from another about what we want to do and
we find something for example technology and the high technology products to support
about the ID’s ideas.
The students from Interior didn’t come to join with us, so ID’s students and us
were objected from ID’s Professors about about our conpept. When ID presented their jobs
about the design of restaurant and things(table) in that place , Professors said that we need
to think again about our product because if it will be developed and used , it will be the
effect for the user.
And they said about our concept that self reliance and peace in mind but for the
table , it didn’t. The tables can make the user to feel alone and can live oneself , that is
difference from the conpept. For the tables, our concent were about when you use it, you
will feel something like thinking of someone etc. So we need to work more for the next job.

We were thinking about our concept
and project.
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
We do together and always share ideas from the other.
We search, think and learn few of technology that we will do but now waiting for the
design team.
Weak Point
We’re not sure what the design team want to do , so it need time for waiting and time
for engineering team will be less.
Next Week Job
I think we will get the real idea of product that we want to do. If it’s not, we need to
create more and need to learn some technology [the process] that we maybe use.
